![]() ![]() There’s not quite enough room for the thumb in between the browse and track dials except at a steep angle, especially when scanning quickly. These are so constantly accessed that their position squeezed up with the slimmer track/transition/tweak dials just doesn’t work very well. The only difficulties with the layout are the preview and browse dials. For the right-handed among us, the jog dial and transport controls are directly underneath the natural position for your hand, volume and EQ dials have a sensible layout and the effects are accessible by either hand. ![]() A second push stops the previewing track. By pressing it, the currently highlighted track begins to play as a preview, and adjusting the dial moves the preview forward and backwards through the track, eliminating the issues with clicking the very narrow band under normal use. Once isolated by BPM or a couple of search terms though, it’s a more tactile interface for looking for a track than a mouse. This works well, but won’t get through a large library easily – it really needs to be used in tandem with a keyboard and the search feature. The browse knob scrolls up and down through the library, and pushing it adds the currently highlighted track to the set. All of these dials are clickable, with a good solid thunk behind them, and allow you to change the grid density with the intro/outro dials, and push-to-select for the track/transition/tweak dials.Ībove this again are two larger knobs labeled ‘browse’ and ‘preview’. There are also strip solo buttons and timeline zoom/scrolling knobs, all of which are very useful and keep your hand off the mouse.Ībove these are five dials controlling the position of the intro and outro markers of the two tracks in closest proximity to the playing monitor marker, and track and tweak selection dials to control the automatic selections of the current track. The right of the controller contains the tracking dial, transport controls, edit controls utility controls. Top-left is a bank of twelve clickless infinite-turn dials for assigning to VST effects. The left part of the controller has four rows of knobs controlling the volume, bass mids and treble for four timeline tracks, as well as a series of buttons for loop and cue control. The Control is a very direct translation of the MixMeister interface to a controller. Most of its features are reasonably specific to using the Fusion version of the software in live mode, but it makes working in offline mode considerably smoother too. The MixMeister Control is a MixMeister-focused MIDI controller from Numark designed to make working with MixMeister easier, more fun and to some extent flashier for live use. You can create mixes in a DAW-like fashion, with the full power to swap around and fix mistakes, chop and change tracks, lay out loops, transitions and effects with a very intuitive and easy-to-use interface. MixMeister Fusion is a very cool piece of software indeed.
